Komodo Entrance Fee — What Foreigners Actually Pay in 2026

Here’s a synthesized, up‑to‑date picture of Komodo National Park fees in 2026 based on the sources you provided. There are inconsistencies online, so I’ll:

• Use the clearest, most detailed 2026 structures (Divebooker and KomodoIslandTour/Maika ).
• Flag areas where other sites disagree.
• Then give worked cost examples for 1‑day, 2D1N, 3D2N.
• Compare foreign vs Indonesian where data exists (but note: most 2026 updates focus on foreigner rates).

1. Core Park Fees (Foreign Visitors, 2026)

From and (which align closely and are clearly marked “2026”):

1.1. Base Marine Park & Harbour Fees

For all visitors (snorkeling, diving, sightseeing):

• Marine Park Entry – Foreigners
• IDR 250,000 per person, per day
• , , , basically agree on this number.
• Harbour Fee (Labuan Bajo / Komodo port)
• Common structure in detailed sources:
• IDR 25,000 per person, per day for day trips , .
• Often once per trip for liveaboards / multi‑day trips .

Some operators in also list a “conservation fee / tourism tax” (~IDR 100,000) separately, but and do not break this out, implying conservation is embedded in the main Marine Park fee. Actual inclusion can vary by operator.

1.2. Diving Surcharge (Foreigners)

• Diver Surcharge
• IDR 25,000 per diver, per day , .
• This is on top of the Marine Park Entry and Harbour Fee.

So, for foreign divers, the commonly cited daily park cost is:

• Marine Park Entry: 250,000
• Diver Surcharge: 25,000
• Harbour Fee (day trip): 25,000

= 300,000 IDR per diver per day , .

For snorkelers / non‑divers (day trip):

• Marine Park Entry: 250,000
• Harbour Fee: 25,000

= 275,000 IDR per person per day .

2. Ranger & Island Trekking Fees (Komodo, Rinca, Padar, etc.)

These apply when you step on islands for treks (Komodo dragons, Padar viewpoint, etc.). A licensed ranger is mandatory.

From and :

• Ranger Fee – Komodo Island / Rinca Island
• IDR 200,000 per group, up to 5 people.
• Ranger Fee – Padar Island
• IDR 150,000 per group, up to 5 people.

These are flat per‑group fees, not per person. Your per‑person cost depends on group size:

Example (Komodo / Rinca):

• Solo: 200,000 per person
• 2 people: 100,000 per person
• 5 people: 40,000 per person

No separate “Pink Beach” island fee is listed in the clearer 2026 breakdowns; it’s included under your general Marine Park entry for the day. You might still pay a ranger/guide if landing on certain beaches or doing treks, but in practice most operators bundle that.

—

3. Photography, Drones & Special Permits

3.1. Drone Photography (Foreigners)

From :

• Drone Permit
• IDR 2,000,000 per unit per day
• “Strictly enforced” and only with a valid permit.

This is on top of your normal park + ranger fees. Not all operators will help you obtain this; many simply ban guest drones for simplicity.

3.2. Professional Photo/Video Permits

Your sources do not explicitly list a separate “professional camera” fee in 2026. Historically, Indonesian parks sometimes differentiate:

• Smartphone / small camera – free
• Large pro video/film shoots – special permits

In 2026, for Komodo specifically:

• Clear, up‑to‑date sources emphasize drone permits only.
• If you’re doing commercial/pro production, assume:
• You may need a location filming permit or extra fees arranged via your operator or local government.
• Costs are case‑by‑case and not in the standard tourist fee tables.

3.3. SIMAKSI (Climbing / Nature Permits)

SIMAKSI (“Surat Izin Masuk Kawasan Konservasi”) is common for mountains and some conservation areas in Indonesia. For Komodo in 2026:

• None of the recent Komodo‑specific references you provided mention a separate SIMAKSI fee for regular visitors.
• Access is regulated via the digital ticket/park app and daily quota, not via a SIMAKSI permit.

So for a regular tourist trip (day trip / liveaboard) you should not have a separate SIMAKSI line item.

—

4. Additional Island or Docking Fees

4.1. Additional Island Fees (Pink Beach, Padar, Rinca)

From and :

• No separate “entry fee” per named island is listed for 2026.
• The Marine Park Entry covers all typical stops (Komodo, Rinca, Padar, Pink Beach, etc.) within that calendar day, assuming your tour has the appropriate permits.

You will pay:

• Ranger fee for Komodo/Rinca/Padar treks as above.
• Potential extra local/community fees are sometimes charged informally or bundled, but they’re not clearly standardized at national‑park level.

4.2. Boat Docking / Harbor Fees (Labuan Bajo)

From and :

• Harbour Fee
• IDR 25,000 per person (day trip: per day; liveaboard: usually once per trip).

This effectively covers the docking/port usage from the tourist’s side. Any additional port/boat‑side fees are normally handled by your operator and folded into the tour price.

—

5. Conflicting Information Across Sources

Some of your search results show different structures:

• claims:
• Foreigners: 150,000 weekdays / 250,000 weekends for base entry.
• Diving: 100,000 extra.
• mentions:
• Foreign Entrance: 250,000 + Conservation fee: ~100,000.

These contradict the clearer, fully laid‑out, 2026‑labeled tables in and . Given:

• explicitly says “Komodo National Park Entrance Fee 2026 – officially confirmed” and explains the scrapped 3.75M IDR annual fee.
• (Maika Komodo Tour & Diving) gives detailed per‑component breakdowns and practical examples.

The most reliable working assumption for 2026 is:

• Base Foreign Marine Park Entry: 250,000 / day
• Harbour Fee: 25,000 / day (or once per trip on liveaboards)
• Diving surcharge: 25,000 / day

Your specific boat/operator might add an extra “conservation/tourism” line, but that appears to be operator‑ or region‑level tax, not a universally applied national‑park line item.

Always confirm with your tour operator before payment, because operators must comply with any last‑minute local adjustments.

6. Indonesian vs Foreign Visitor Rates

The sources you gave focus heavily on foreign rates. Where local rates are mentioned:

• , , focus on foreigners; they do not give a clean 2026 local table.
• Historically, Indonesian citizens pay significantly less (often around 10–50% of the foreign rate, sometimes with weekday/weekend differences), but 2026 exact numbers aren’t clearly set out in your links.

Given that, here is a partial comparison, with the foreign side solid and the local side marked “variable” where not clearly documented in 2026:

| Fee Type | Foreign Visitors | Indonesian Visitors |

|———-|————————-|—————————-|

| Marine Park Entry | 250,000 / person / day | Lower than foreign rate, but current 2026 amount not clearly specified in sources provided (often tiered weekday/weekend historically). |

| Harbour Fee | 25,000 / person (per day for day trips; once per trip for liveaboards) | Usually similar or slightly lower, but exact 2026 figure not clearly given. |

| Diving Surcharge | 25,000 / diver / day | Often equal or slightly less; 2026 figure not explicit in your sources. |

| Ranger Fee – Komodo/Rinca | 200,000 per group (≤5 pax) | Typically same group fee regardless of nationality. |

| Ranger Fee – Padar | 150,000 per group (≤5 pax) | Typically same group fee regardless of nationality. |

| Drone Permit | 2,000,000 per unit / day | Same permit fee likely applies to all; no nationality distinction given. |

To get precise Indonesian rates, you’d need either:

• The official Komodo Park or NTT provincial tourism site; or
• A current Indonesian operator’s fee list in Bahasa Indonesia.

7. Typical Trip Scenarios (Foreign Visitor)

Below, I’ll assume the cleaner 2026 structure from & , and no extra operator-specific conservation surcharge, because that varies by company.

I’ll show:

• 1‑day typical snorkeling/sightseeing package
• 2D1N
• 3D2N

and note where liveaboards often charge harbour only once.

7.1. 1‑Day Trip (Foreign Snorkeler / Trekker)

Assume:

• You do: Padar trek + Komodo (or Rinca) trek + snorkeling/Pink Beach.
• You are in a group of 5 people sharing ranger costs.

Per person, per day:

1. Core fees
2. Marine Park Entry: 250,000
3. Harbour Fee: 25,000

= 275,000

1. Ranger fees (shared)
2. Padar Ranger: 150,000 / 5 = 30,000
3. Komodo/Rinca Ranger: 200,000 / 5 = 40,000

= 70,000 per person

1. Total park‑related fees (no drone, no diving)

275,000 + 70,000 = 345,000 IDR per person

Tour price you pay to an operator will be higher because it includes:

• Boat, fuel, crew
• Guide
• Lunch, drinks
• Their margin

But purely in terms of national‑park & ranger & harbour fees, your foreign cost is about 345k IDR in this configuration.

If your group is smaller, your per‑person ranger portion increases:

• Solo: 150k + 200k = 350k total ranger; 350k + 275k = 625,000 IDR per person in fees.
• 2 pax: ranger 175k each; total 450k each.

7.2. 1‑Day Trip (Foreign Diver – Day Trip Boat, 2–3 Dives)

From and directly:

• Marine Park Entry: 250,000
• Diving Surcharge: 25,000
• Harbour Fee: 25,000

= 300,000 IDR per diver per day (park/harbour side only).

If you also do a Komodo or Rinca trek in the same day:

• Add your share of ranger fee (e.g. 200,000 / 5 = 40,000), so ~340,000 IDR.

—

7.3. 2D1N (Foreign) – Example

Assume:

• You’re on a small boat staying 1 night.
• Day 1: Padar + snorkel spots.
• Day 2: Komodo or Rinca + more snorkeling, then back.
• This is not a full liveaboard dive safari, just an overnight trip.

Assumptions:

• Marine Park fees apply per calendar day you’re in the park.
• Harbour fee usually charged once per trip, but some budget boats may itemize per day – I’ll show both.

Scenario A – Harbour Fee Once (common for 2D1N/3D2N packages)

Per person:

1. Day 1:
2. Marine Park Entry: 250,000
3. (Harbour fee counted once only – see below)
1. Day 2:
2. Marine Park Entry: 250,000
1. Harbour Fee:
2. 25,000 (once per trip)
1. Ranger fees (group of 5)
2. Day 1 Padar: 150,000 / 5 = 30,000
3. Day 2 Komodo/Rinca: 200,000 / 5 = 40,000

= 70,000 per person

Total per person fees (foreign):

• Marine Park: 250k + 250k = 500,000
• Harbour: 25,000
• Rangers: 70,000

= 595,000 IDR per person for park + harbour + ranger across the whole 2D1N.

Scenario B – Harbour Fee Per Day (more conservative upper bound)

• Harbour: 25,000 x 2 = 50,000

Then total becomes: 500k + 50k + 70k = 620,000 IDR per person.

For an Indonesian visitor, the structure is the same but the Marine Park entry number is lower, so the total would drop significantly (exact figure depends on the updated local rate).

—

7.4. 3D2N (Foreign) – Example Liveaboard (Snorkel / Mixed)

Assume:

• 3 days in the park, 2 nights on board.
• Day 1: Padar + snorkel.
• Day 2: Komodo dragons (Komodo or Rinca) + snorkel.
• Day 3: Snorkel/Pink Beach and other sites, then back.
• No diving surcharge in this example (snorkeling only).

Scenario A – Harbour Fee Once

Per person:

1. Marine Park Entry:
2. 250,000 x 3 = 750,000
1. Harbour Fee:
2. 25,000 (once per trip)
1. Ranger fees (group of 5)
2. Padar: 150,000 / 5 = 30,000
3. Komodo/Rinca: 200,000 / 5 = 40,000

= 70,000 per person (same as 2D1N example; Day 3 is just snorkeling/ beach stops).

Total (foreign):

750,000 + 25,000 + 70,000 = 845,000 IDR per person.

Scenario B – Harbour Fee Per Day

• Harbour: 25,000 x 3 = 75,000

Then: 750,000 + 75,000 + 70,000 = 895,000 IDR per person.

7.5. 3D2N Liveaboard for Divers (Foreign)

If this is a dive liveaboard and you dive every day:

• Diving surcharge: 25,000 per diver per day x 3 = 75,000
• Add this to the snorkel scenario totals.

So, under Harbour‑once assumption:

• Snorkel liveaboard total: 845,000
• + Diving surcharge: 75,000

= 920,000 IDR per diver in park/harbour/ranger + dive‑surcharge fees across the whole 3D2N.

—

8. Drone & Special Costs Overlay

If you add a drone to any of the above scenarios:

• Add 2,000,000 IDR per day of drone use (regardless of trip length).
• If you fly 1 day during a 3D2N: add 2,000,000 total.
• If you fly all 3 days: add 6,000,000.

These drone costs are per unit per day, not per person.

—

9. Summary

For a foreign visitor in 2026, using the most consistent, clearly updated sources:

• Base daily park costs:
• 250,000 IDR Marine Park Entry
• + 25,000 IDR Harbour Fee (day trip; usually once per trip on liveaboards)
• + 25,000 IDR Diving Surcharge (if diving)
• Rangers: 150,000 (Padar) / 200,000 (Komodo/Rinca) per group up to 5, shared among your group.
• Drone: 2,000,000 IDR per drone per day, strict permit requirements.
• No clearly separate SIMAKSI fee for normal Komodo tourism in 2026; access is via digital park tickets and a 1,000‑visitors‑per‑day quota.

Typical totals (foreign, park‑fee side only, group of 5, no drone):

• 1‑day snorkel & dragons (Padar + Komodo/Rinca): ~345,000 IDR / person
• 2D1N (Padar + Komodo/Rinca + snorkel): ~595,000–620,000 IDR / person
• 3D2N snorkel liveaboard: ~845,000–895,000 IDR / person
• 3D2N dive liveaboard: ~920,000–970,000 IDR / diver

Indonesian visitors follow the same fee categories but pay lower Marine Park entry; exact 2026 local figures are not cleanly laid out in the pages you provided and should be checked with the park app or a local operator in Bahasa Indonesia.

If you’d like, I can help you plug in your exact dates, group size, and whether you’re diving or using a drone to produce a precise per‑person cost table you can take to your operator.
